'What is wrong with you?' Michelle Obama savages Trump's gutting of her legacy
The Guardian via MSN.com ^ | 5/12/2017 | David Smith

Michelle Obama has made her strongest political intervention since leaving the White House, stating bluntly at a health conference: “Think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap.”

One of the former first lady’s signature legacies was an effort to reduce childhood obesity. Earlier this month, Donald Trump’s administration froze regulations that would cut sodium and increase whole grains served in school meals.

-- snip --

The 53-year-old demanded: “And why is that a partisan issue? Why would that be political? What is going on? You know, now that’s up to moms. Moms, think about this. I don’t care what state you live in. Take me out of the equation. Like me, don’t like me, but think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap. Why would you celebrate that? Why would you sit idly and be OK with that?

“Because here’s the secret: if somebody is doing that, they don’t care about your kid, and we need to demand everyone to care deeply about kids. That’s all we have. So we should be driving this and every elected official on this planet should understand: don’t play with our children. Don’t do it.”

-- snip --

Evidently riled, Obama continued: “‘You shouldn’t know what you’re eating.’ Think about that. Stop there, think about that. ‘You shouldn’t know what you’re eating.’ You’re OK with that? Do you know people who are OK with that? I mean, I just find myself thinking, this isn’t my fight, you know, this is where you’ve got to look yourself in the eye.

“We need to look our neighbours in the eye and kind of go: ‘What is going on?’ Because this just isn’t that complicated, you know. Just tell me what’s in my food. Why is that a problem?

We’re not going to feed those kids that slop you made the schools serve them.

I know a woman who some years ago was enrolling her daughters into middle school and was asked if she wanted to join the low-income free lunch program, to which my friend replied, if I couldn’t afford to feed them, I wouldn’t have had them.

“Hope he tears up her vegetable garden.”

Lol, he really should. Then he could replace is with cows and say it is needed ‘crop rotation’ after 8 years.

Maybe what my kids eat is of no concern to some corrupt fat cow.

Meanwhile, Trump, who’s 70 years old, loves his KFC, Big Macs, and Diet Coke, and physicians reported he’s in perfect health.

This cow Michelle needs to take her fat ass, meet up with Hillary and her fat ass, and take a girls’ vacation to some remote island.

If your children won’t eat it then it’s not nutrition.

Good School lunches are the ones that the kids will eat!! Them that are low on sweets and high on protein, an essential part of the diet.
